CNN is reportedly giving Don Lemon another chance after insulting Nikki Haley and millions of other women, provided he goes through a ‘re-education’ program.
Many people have pointed out that Lemon has said offensive things on the air for years and that he does not deserve the opportunity to keep doing it.
Megyn Kelly used her podcast to drive that point home, calling the idea of sending Lemon to a re-education program a farce. She wants to know what a man like Lemon would have to do to get fired, noting that lots of other people have been fired for much less. Watch:
"Don Lemon's re-education camp is a farce. It's a lie and we know it. And for them to continue tolerating it makes them part of the problem."@MegynKelly on CNN refusing to fire Don Lemon. pic.twitter.com/MMxPtk1g5j

How long will it take for Lemon to say something offensive again?
Vegas is laying odds. Take the under at 5 on the amount of days it will take for him to say something offensive again to get sent back to obedience school.

Maybe give Lemon a punch card like they do at the drive-thru coffee shack. A baker's dozen of offenses, then he's out. It's not the first time, my guess it won't be the last.

Would Lemon be given so many chances if he worked for a conservative news outlet? We all know the answer to that question, don’t we?
If someone on @FoxNews @NewsNation or @NEWSMAX had made a similar comment regarding a Democrat candidate, the screaming and protesting for their immediate firing would be deafening. There wouldn't be any kind of re-training or re-education.

Don Lemon needs to be fired plain and simple.

Maybe our expectations are just too high. This is CNN, after all.
It's @CNN don't expect a lot ..

It’s important to remember that this is a network that didn’t even fire Jeffrey Toobin after what he did.
Is there any wonder why they’re still OK with Don Lemon?
